Definitions

• the present invention relates to the use of 15-deoxysperguaIin for the production of an immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor drug for administration to the mucous membrane in a dosage in the range from 20 to 600 ⁇ g / kg body weight daily, in particular for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, inflammatory skin diseases, cancer diseases and to prevent graft rejection.
• the compound can be prepared either as a racemic mixture (see e.g. US-A-4 51 8 532) or in optically pure form (see e.g. EP-A-0 094 632).
• 5-deoxyspergualin is administered intravenously in a dose of approx. 4 to 6 / g / kg body weight in order to achieve an immunosuppressive effect.
• the effect is characterized by an unspecific general suppression of the immune system.
• the object of the invention is therefore to provide a preparation with few side effects for the treatment of the diseases mentioned, which is easy to use, does not develop any significant side effects even with long-term use and is therapeutically effective. Furthermore, the preparation should also be easy for the patient to use himself.
• the active ingredient DSG can be applied to the mucous membrane of the nose, the respiratory tract or other mucous membranes in the microgram range using the preferred metered dose aerosol, the single dose being determined by the amount of active ingredient per stroke (200 to 800 micrograms per stroke) is determined.
• the low and precise dosage in the microgram range makes it possible for the first time to practically achieve the pharmacological effects that can be achieved with this dosage. Local as well as systemic effects are created, since a sufficient amount of the active ingredient is absorbed and gets into the bloodstream. In the low dose range, transdermal systems are also suitable for long-term therapy.
• the invention relates to the use of 15-deoxysperguaiine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, optionally together with customary auxiliaries and carriers and / or other active ingredients for producing an immunosuppressive anti-inflammatory or anti-tumor drug in the form of a drug for application to the mucous membrane in a dosage of 20 to 600 // g / kg body mass daily preparation, preferably in the form of a metered dose.
• autoimmune diseases of every genesis and of every organ can be treated, for example myasthenia gravis, myositis, multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, athrophic gastritis, ulcerative colitis, nephrotoxic nephritis, lupus diseases, arthritis, scleroderma, granulomatosis, autoimmune myocarditis Autoimmune cytopenia, psoriasis, neurodermatitis, dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, Graves' disease, pancreatitis, uveitis, ulceris, glomerulonephritis, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's, AIDS and the like.
• Treatment is preferred of multiple sclerosis, lupus erythematosus, virus-induced autoimmune diseases, AIDS, glomerulonephritis, psoriasis and neurodermatitis.
• Cancers that can be treated include leukemia and solid tumors, such as the lungs, breast, sarcomas, ovaries, lymphomas.
• Graft rejection reactions can occur in the transmission of any human organ or tissue. The fate of the transplant depends largely on the type and extent of the immune response in the recipient. The survival time of the transplant is considerably improved by the immunosuppression caused by the medicament obtained according to the invention.
• the active ingredient deoxyspergualin could only be administered intravenously or intramuscularly due to the high doses required.
• the invention allows the active ingredient in the low dosage according to the invention to be administered effectively by mucosal application.
• the dosage essential in the context of the invention is in the range of 20 to 600 / g / kg of body weight daily. It is preferably reliably observed in that the medicament obtained in accordance with the invention is packaged and used in a metered dose aerosol applicator, which administers a fixed amount of active substance with each actuation. If, for example, the metered dose aerosol device is set up in such a way that aerosol with a content of 500 ⁇ g of active ingredient is sprayed off with each stroke, this results in a patient with a body weight of 60 kg and a dose of 100 g / kg body weight daily per nose side overall 6 pump pulses, corresponding to 2 pump pulses per side 3 times a day.
• the daily dose is suitably administered in one to three single doses.
• the dose to be administered in each case is determined by the doctor depending on the severity of the condition to be treated, the age, Gender and weight of the patient and the duration of treatment.
• the medicament produced according to the invention is preferably formulated as an aerosol, but can also be present, for example, in the form of an ointment, a cream, drops, or a lotion which are formulated for application to the mucous membrane, in particular the nasal mucosa.
• Administration to the nasal mucosa or respiratory mucosa is preferred, e.g. in the form of a nasal spray, aerosol, nasal ointment or nasal drops, as this significantly reduces the burden on the patient and can therefore improve patient compliance. Due to the low dosage of the active ingredient, such a nasal administration is possible for the first time since the low concentrations do not cause irritation to the mucous membrane. There is also no influence on the ciliary function.
• the buccal form of administration in which the active ingredient is absorbed through the oral mucosa, is also suitable. Dosed administration of the medicament produced according to the invention is also possible via the vaginal mucosa and the intestinal mucosa, the formulation then being the usual form of preparation for these applications, e.g. as a suppository.
• the active ingredient deoxyspergualin can be packaged for use in accordance with the invention in a manner known per se and processed for pharmaceutical use.
• customary auxiliaries and carriers are used in the field of pharmaceutical formulation for the respective administration form.
• the active ingredient can be used either as a free base or as a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt together with conventional carriers and other common pharmaceutical additives.
• pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts with organic and Inorganic acids are, for example, chlorides, hydroxides, lactates, malates, fumarates, acetates, carbonates, citrates, tartrates, glycolates etc.
• the 1 5-deoxyspergualin can be administered either as the only active ingredient or together with other active ingredients as well as vitamins, minerals and known drug additions.
• suitable further active ingredients are those with pharmacological activity, provided that they are compatible with 1 5-deoxyspergualin, e.g. Corticosteroids such as cortisone, camphor, echinacea, euphorbium etc., or active substances with a supplementary accompanying effect, e.g. Fumaric acid, active ingredients with absorption and penetration-promoting action on 1 5-deoxyspergualin, e.g. Isopropanol or propylene glycol, active substances with a caring effect, e.g. Chamomile oil, azulene, panthenol, retinol palmitate, glycerin.
• the preparation of a preparation to be administered to the mucous membrane preferably to the respiratory or nasal mucous membrane, it is possible to use all auxiliaries and carriers which are customarily used in the field of mucosal agents.
• the preparation can also take any other form that is suitable for precisely metered administration via the mucous membrane and can, for example, in the form of a nasal spray, nasal drops, nasal ointment, nasal suspension, nasal gel or the like. available.
• the usual dosage forms adapted to the administration form such as medium-chain triglycerides, peanut oil, carbonner, macrogol, wool wax, alcohol ointment base, water for injection, paraffin liquid and excipients, such as preservatives, for example benzalkonium chloride, thiomer sal, butylated hydroxytoluene, PHB esters, isotonic agents, and isotonic agents - Drug phosphate, sodium monohydrogen phosphate or sodium chloride, and flavorings and aromas, such as fennel oil, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, mountain pine oil, cedar leaf oil and the like, are used.
• the nasal spray can be in the form of a pump spray or in a pressure can with a pharmacologically acceptable propellant. Packaging in a metered dose aerosol container is particularly preferred.
• deoxyspergualin with magnesium is particularly preferred. It has been found that this combination is particularly well tolerated. Magnesium reliably prevents the (rarely) occurring subjective complaints (e.g. dysesthesia) during treatment with 1 5-deoxyspergualin.
• a nasal spray is produced in a manner known per se.
• the application is carried out according to the instructions of the doctor.
